Pet Sitting Madera Acres

About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs since I was a child and animals have always been a big part of my life. I currently have 2 Yorkies in my home and 3 Dobermans on my property, so I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, ages and personalities. I’ve also fostered dogs, which has deepened my patience, attentiveness, and ability to help dogs feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I offer walks, drop-ins, boarding and sitting, and I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, shy pups, crate training, puppy routines, medication and helping dogs feel safe and settled. I work from home, so your dog will get plenty of love, attention, cuddles, playtime and consistent care throughout the day. My home has a fully fenced yard, plus two separate fenced areas just for small dogs and large dogs, so I can provide a safe and comfortable setup based on your pup’s needs. I’m calm, patient, reliable and attentive, and I truly care for every dog like they matter because they do! Friends and family know me as a wonderful dog caretaker and with 5 dogs of my own, loving and managing dogs is simply part of who I am. If you’re a nervous pet parent, no worries here! Your baby will be cared for with love, patience and the attention they need. I’ll send at least one update daily and I’m always happy to answer questions or texts when you reach out. My schedule is flexible since I work from home, so I’m able to give your pup plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m available for boarding most weekdays and weekends, with regular potty breaks, playtime, and walks built into the routine. Your dog won’t be left alone for long stretches - care is a priority for me. I've loved and cared for dogs since I was a child and animals have always been a big part of my life.

“Laurel is so nice. She was attentive and sensitive to my dogs needs. Would definitely love to have her assistance again!”

About: Strays and lost dogs always seem to find me and of course I can never just leave them. I feel responsible to care for them like my own pet and do my best to find their true owners. I understand that love for our pets❤️ I am currently only working part time so I have plenty of time for you and your pets😊. I am available daily Monday - Friday. I have a fenced backyard and plenty of pet supplies for them. When walking I try to focus on only 1 or 2 dogs at a time so they can receive my full attention!

About: Before I got my 2 pups, I have been taking care of fur friends around me from friends and family. Providing dog walking/jogs, bathing, dental care, feeding and play time! I am currently working part time. As my schedule is varies there is much room for flexible scheduling. Fur friend care is available weekends and evenings! I have a fenced back yard and 2 friendly furry friends. They’re also allowed indoors! Providing a safe and trusted environment is of no concern.

“Second time working with Alexis and we are very grateful for her. She went above and beyond for us when she came into the home for a check in and noticed our dog was shaking and scared because of a beeping noise in the house. She went out of her way to help fix the problem to calm our dog. Very appreciate!”

About: I have always grown up with animals in my home, mainly dogs and cats and some small creatures. I currently have two standard poodles. I started out taking care of other people's animals when I was a freshmen in high school with my neighbors' animals. When I started driving, that's when I expanded my services to staying overnight in other people's homes to take care of their animals. I recently graduated from Sonoma State University and taking a gap year before I get my masters degree. So right now, my schedule is pretty flexible and love any animals. Any time that someone needs care for their animals, I’m very happy to help out in any way that I can! When I stay overnight in other people's homes, if your animals need to be crated, I can do that and let them out at night if needed to go to the bathroom. I provide dog walking either morning or night.

“First time using Rover so I was a little bit nervous but Donna was AMAZING!! She spent a ton of time with my sweet boy! She sent pictures, took him on a walk, and even taught him a new trick (I literally booked her to drop in twice). You could just tell how much she cared about his comfort and well being; for instance, our heat went out and when the temperature dropped she offered to drive an extra two hours to bring him a heater! We live super far away from her and yet she still took an extra trip to come meet all of us. I could not recommend her enough! She’s wonderful!!”

About: I grew up with pets my whole life since i was 10 both cats and dogs and many other types of pets i enjoyed being around. I currently have no job and am available for any time during the week and am interested in taking care of pets with living next to a park. i care for pets as to play with them and give them my full attention and script on how you’ll like to give them care.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of many kind for 3-4 years. I’ve been trained using Cesar Milan methods. I’m also very patient and caring. Most dogs tend to naturally be drawn to this energy in me. I have an open ended schedule. No other jobs, except for DoorDash, which I can arrange around any dog care services you may need. Happy to help where I can. I am comfortable with crate training and adapting to different house rules. While I cannot home your furry friend in my home yet, I’m happy to do so in your home.

About: Animal care has always been a huge part of my life and my strongest passion. I grew up on a ranch so My life has always been about animal care. For many years now I’ve worked as a volunteer for many local rescues as well as independently fostered many animals as well. The feeling of saving an animal from a horrible situation, showing them how love and attention feels and finding them their forever home and family will always be my most rewarding accomplishments and such an amazing feeling. Aside from rescue work, I’ve been pet sitting since I was in high school. It started with family and friends and just grew over time. I have an amazing clientele that I’ve had the privilege to work with over the years and I enjoy creating that trust and bond with a pet as well, I feel that it makes the time away from their parents so much more comfortable and enjoyable for them because I know a lot of animals get separation anxiety because they don’t understand what is happening and change is hard. That’s also why I like to try to keep them on the same schedule and routine as much as possible to attempt to make the transition as easy as possible. I’m experienced with elderly animals as well as special needs and puppies too! There isn’t much I cannot handle lol. I also have experience with reptiles, farm animals and exotics too. I’ve taken nutrition courses, I’m certified in CPR and grooming. I’ve taken behavioral classes and poison control courses as well. I know how to administer basically any form of medication, including IV. I love to take pets on walks when they’re in my car because it helps with anxiety and it’s all around enjoyable for us both! I may be small, but I’ve managed to walk two huskies and a pit bull at once, multiple times so personally I feel like that’s impressive lol. I take them out for many potty breaks and I understand accidents happen in the house or car sometimes as well, so I use all natural cleaners when needed. I like to give many updates, weather it’s for drop ins then I’ll let you know when I arrive and leave and send pictures in between. If I’m house sitting I’ll send random pictures and updates through out the day/night and if for whatever reason I have to leave(to the store or to get food) I also let you know. And house sitting is the same. I also have my mobile grooming kit with me at all times too so If you think your baby needs a bath, their nails cut/grinded down, teeth cleaned, or even fur colored(100% vegan and animal safe dye only) please feel free to let me know any time. I have a simple form that I ask for you to fill out during our meet, it’s just basic questions like food schedules, any allergies, medication information(If applicable) vets information and misc. things You think I should know. I have had many people even just write me a care sheet which also works. I prefer the form/care sheet method just because everything important is right there so if eliminates any room for error. I make goodie baskets for new clients as well as the end of each visit I leave a little report card you know exactly how amazing they did! I make the treats in the baskets from scratch even if they have an allergy I can accommodate! I can make treats for all animals as well. If you have any further question please feel free to reach out, I will always respond and in a very timely manner. I hope to hear from you soon and I hope I can become your pets new best friend! I’m currently working by appointment only, so my schedule is extremely flexible and I can almost always work my schedule to fit yours, if there’s any scheduling conflict I will know at least 24-48 hours ahead of time and I will 100% come up with a plan with you that works! Everyone is free roam in my house but I do have multiple size kennels set up in my home as well(they are comfy and cozy as well lol) so If you have a kennel trained baby who needs them, just let me know! I also can help out with kennel training too if needed. I have a fenced in yard but they are never unsupervised. And if we are going for a walk, I like to keep in inside my gated community where there’s hardly any traffic and there’s tons of grass to sniff and enjoy! Lol If I'm not out doing TNR and rescue work I enjoy spending time with your fur baby and would love to do this full time. I myself have a fensed in yard for everyone to roam and play, but still always being attentive and making sure everyone is safe too!

About: Hi i’m lola! Ive owned dogs while growing up, and I have dog-sat for many friends. I'm great with dogs of all sizes. I enjoy every breed! I’ll follow all your instructions to a T. I also am a dog bather and can do nails or even give your dog a bath at home! i’m currently working full time but i do have time for drop in visits . Message me and we can discuss days and times. I’m very accommodating! I cater to whatever the owner and dog will need. If you crate your dog i’ll help with that, if you need your dog walked daily i can help with that and i can feed your dog daily also

About: I've personally had dogs since the age of 5. All of my dogs have been huge dogs over 90 pounds! I love all pets. I dog sit quite often, anywhere from 6 weeks to 10 years old. I have dealt with a lot of accidents that I totally do not mind picking up. If your dog needs a little more attention and activity that's even better for me! I currently am doing clovis community college online and I stay at home with my 3 big dogs. They love to go swimming so they do that everyday, especially cause it's too hot to walk them right now! I will almost never leave your pet unattended, which means they will be watched for however long you need me there. Hopefully that gets them to stay out of trouble.

“Charlotte is responsible and you can depend on her. She is caring and took special care of our dog as if he were her own We highly recommend her.”

About: We all love our fur friends, but life gets in the way sometimes. That’s why I’m here! My family once had 5 dogs and 1 cat all at once, and I loved every second of it. I love to play, love to walk, and love to just hang out with pets all day long! Let me help your family out by doing the same with your pets! I am stupidly free right now - friendly as well! Just let me know, I am honestly really flexible. I just don’t have the space to sit, but I dan walk your pets and sit them at your home! I current can’t sit at my home, but at your home, I will follow every safety rule AND SOME because this is someone’s fur baby.
